Quotes from Cozene, Hardy and Kent: The Mayors of Norwich, 1403-1835
- "Thomas Aldrich, a draper, was sheriff in 1497 and mayor in 1507 and 1516. During both years of his mayorality he went to London on city business. His merchant's mark (dated 1510) is recorded by Ewing.
His father and grandfather, each named William, had been bailiffs of Yarmouth. There is some confusion in the pedigree in the Herald's Visitations, but it seems that he married once only, namely Elizabeth daughter of Gregory Clark (sheriff 1477). Born 1452 died 1530 John Clark son of pg 191
Among his issue were Thomas, mayor in 1558 and Margaret "whiche died in hir floryiching youthe" in 1535 and was buried in Yelverton.
His eldest son was Gregory and his daughter Anne married Ralf Wilkins, mayor in 1527. He resided in the parish of St.Michael-at-Plea, and owned property in Ber Street and in Swardeston (Mangreen Hall), Dunston and Hemlyngton. He died between January 1528-9 and the following July and was buried in the Lady Chapel in St. Michael-at-Plea. His will was proved in the P.C.C."

Clearly intended to be Aldrich-127. Before merging I will disconnect the son John, because that profile combines different people from different parts of England, but none of them are a son of this person.

That's just another website like this one, so we shouldn't use it to make important decisions. Otherwise internet genealogy is just a circle of people copying each other.
